Why the Fireflies ride

Why the Fireflies ride

Our commitment is to raise money to support life-saving research and treatment of leukaemia and cancers of the blood. We’d suffer anything for this cause – feeling how we do about it.

Bloodwise raises funds to support life-saving research into the causes and treatment of leukaemia and other blood cancers. Its goal is simple: to create a better future for patients both here in the UK and abroad.

1 in 3 of us will be diagnosed with some type of cancer in our lifetime. It is believed that leukaemia is the model of all cancers and achieving a greater understanding of this disease will help in the fight against all other forms of cancer.

A MESSAGE FROM BLOODWISE

Our vision is simple: we’re here to beat blood cancer. Imagine a future where the horror of hearing ‘it’s cancer’ is a thing of the past. Where a blood cancer diagnosis doesn’t feel like the end of the world. Where patients are free to do the things they love.

Our mission is to stop people dying from blood cancer, to make patients’ lives better, and to stop blood cancers happening in the first place. We stop people dying from blood cancer. We won’t stop until every single person with blood cancer survives and no one dies from blood cancer again. 100% survival, nothing less.

When we started, almost no children survived acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, the most common childhood cancer. Now, 9 in 10 survive. Our ground-breaking Trials Acceleration programme is bringing new treatments to more patients, more quickly and more cost effectively.
